LA-based electro/indie pop band Sleeptalk recently released their latest single “I Hope You’re Doing Well,” a melancholy breakup anthem that dropped on Valentine’s Day. After receiving a warm response and over 27K plays on Spotify in under two months, the band decided to record a stripped-down version of the track. In the bathed-in-blue music video, the band tinkers with synth pads and other light instrumentation, while giving the melody optimal space to breathe. Slow and steady is the approach here and it allows the devastating lyrics to really expose the loss that vocalist Anthony Fitzpatrick felt.
The stripped-down video comes just days before the band sets out on a West Coast tour with Michael Barr. As an extra treat for fans, Sleeptalk is giving away their debut full-length album Young by signing up HERE.

Fire Fight – The Ghost Inside
Minneapolis, MN hard rock band Fire Fight has released the official music video for their single, “The Ghost Inside.” “The Ghost Inside” is off of their 2017 released EP Transitions.
“’The Ghost Inside’ is our favorite song to play live. It’s got it all, and in a very short amount of time, from heavy riffage down to soft vocals building into an epic chorus and back to the heavy riffing, and that reflects the story behind it: light vs. darkness, good vs evil, and the continuing battle between. For the video, we went for simplicity; there’s a ghost inside all of us. As people we can go through different stages of emotions and sometimes those emotions make us see in black and white, and while the song may be complicated, we wanted to accent that simplicity throughout in the imagery as well.”
Remember when music made you feel things you’d never felt before? When it seemed like every time you turned on the radio, you discovered a whole new world? What happened to that sense of wonder and refreshment?
Minneapolis, Minnesota’s Fire Fight seeks to breathe new life into a world muddied by generalities and jaded artistry.
Our goal is to spark that same sense of wonder and inspiration that was once the norm. Music isn’t what we do for a living, it’s what we do to live and we want to share that with every audience we encounter. Every show belongs to you just as much as it does to us, and we want to change the way you hear rock music and the way you experience it.
With driving percussion, intricate riffs, infectious hooks, and mesmerizing melodies, each song tells a story: our story, our journey. Egos and politics have their place, but everyone needs something that speaks to their heart and soul. Without heart, all art is fruitless. So bang your heads, throw up the horns, jump, dance, sing and be present. The music industry and bureaucracy have taken so much from music and from you, the fans. We’re here to give it back.
We are FIRE FIGHT!

Vile Assembly – Gone
Vile Assembly is Mark Wainwright, Mark Webb and Paul Mason, a tight-knit trio of songwriters, musicians, and producers. Spiralling from the success of their debut single earlier this year, the Liverpool based Punk trio spark anarchy and debate with the release of their follow-up single and the debut album out this Autumn.
The trio garnered global media acclaim as far reaching as Japan with the release of their debut single ‘Suicide Feast’ earlier this year. Now they’re back with a bold serving of anarchic Punk with the release of their follow-up single, ‘Gone’, on 6th October, taken from their debut album ‘Fattened By The Horrors Of War’ which is out on October 20th.
The band were created solely to be the whistleblowers on unjust society; their purpose to say what needs to be said through the universally understood medium of music. With their bold, beat-driven, brazen melodic style, they defy you not to take notice.
Fusing the classic 70s Punk vibe of The Clash and the Sex Pistols with a more considered Bowie-esque lyrical content, ‘Gone’ points the judgemental finger at the mighty conglomerates. This single puts the spotlight on the harshness of our system, blatantly exposing the fact that if organisations want you to disappear (whether it’s from work or expelled from the country), then they will act that, without any remorse or hesitation. Do not mess with the powers that be is the message here. Smartly creating a catchy melodic hook and an addictive ‘gone, gone, gone’ chant, all woven around stoic Punk lyrics, ‘Gone’ was created so that it could be easily digested by the masses.
Vile Assembly wants us all to wake up and realise that, whilst we’re a medicated nation, the corporates will always have the ultimate power and control. If anyone speaks out against the corporates they won’t wait, they won’t hesitate, when they want you gone, you’re gone. Free from fear, the trio is using their musical muscle to speak out and they won’t stop screaming until they’re heard.
Listen, absorb and make a change!
